Traditions & Events

The most prevalent festive and devotional form of coastal community is certainly the celebration of Patron Saint, in which a bust or icon of Saint or Madonna is venerated by local community as protectors. The procession is often accompanied by fireworks, fairs, blessing of faithfuls and trips. The latter are similar to breakfast consumed by pilgrims who follow the statue of Patron Saint out of the city. Today, these festivities are transformed into a community gathering, outdoor dining, community celebrations and local events.
